This video shows the process of adding a roof. This works in the same way as with walls. To add a panel, opening or niche to a roof, drag one from the object library onto the roof. Using Panels, Openings and Niches with Roofs Once a roof has been added to the project, you can open the Roof Assistant again by choosing the Change Roof Type command from the context menu of the roof and select another type. The roof properties are located in the Object Properties tab of the Inspector. A more complicated roof can be created by adding or deleting roof slope segments and by changing their angles.

The height of the roof is not limited by the corresponding story height. An auto roof will change its shape dynamically if you change the configuration of the external walls on the floor below. A new AutoRoof object usually takes up the entire top of the upper story. The program can add a roof to any story that is entirely or partially under the open sky. Roof sides are displayed in the Project Tree as sub-items of the corresponding roof. Similar to other objects, roofs are listed in the Project Tree. Thus, 1, 4 and 5 in the picture are roof sides. Gables are also considered as roof sides. When the program creates a roof, it takes into account the selected roof style (a template you choose in the Roof Assistant) and the outline of the external walls.Īny roof has several sides.
